I’ll have to look it up but I think there are a lot of Asians that are atheist.

Well just look it up on the internet search, there are many sites, such as conservapedia.com- Atheism, I don't agree with all the stuff on these sites, but its whats available; one site I used awhile back puts it at 70% white males, I think conservapedia puts it at 90%; so it varies depending on where you go. And of course the numbers are constantly changing, but always a majority white male pressence, which I think would spell trouble in an Atheist society, because these white males would no doubt try to rule.

conservapedia.com is by far one of the most bias websites out there. The majority of what it posts is discriminitory, not supported by facts, and poor grammar.

Similar studies also show a higher level of intelligence among atheists compared to theists. I am sure we would figure it out before it went to war.

I don't care what website you use, Atheist are majority white males wherever you look at it as a whole. Even when you get into other cultures than are non-white, its still majority males. When you defacto women, thats going to spell trouble, eventually, in any culture; we can see that occuring now in male dominated cultures. When you defacto different races, in a one race dominated culture, thats going to eventually spell trouble, we have long seen that in history.

So thats double trouble in an all Atheist rule. It would not be the heaven on earth many Atheist like to project it would be. Not in my view.

Again I will point out the following:

One small problem with this, all that is required for someone to be atheist is a lack of belief in god, not a lack of belief in religion. Religions like Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and other new age religious movements don't necessarily believe in the Christian god.

And the other problem with this... since the question in the OP is hypothetical, then hypothetically the world would be as diverse as it is now in regards to gender and race.

Oh, and technically speaking, the world IS populated by atheists as most people don't believe in one god the other. Do you believe in Zeus? How about Ra? Thor? Ninkasi?

If the world was entirely populated by atheists, everyone - white, black, asian, male, female, etc. would *all* be atheist. Thus a world populated by atheists would probably be dominated by female atheists as we are more than 50% of the world population.

If the world was dominated by female Atheist there would be a gender war and men would become a serious problem in most societys.

Really? Do you actually think that people can't get along with each other?

I don't think the word dominated is used properly. Right now women over populate men in the USA. However that isn't the case if you total all the humans on the planet. Check out: Human sex ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's fairly equal overall. The ratio varies only when broken down country by country. If Suddenly everyone was atheist, then the world would look the same as it does today but the only religious discussions we would have would be to teach our children myths.

You know the world includes many countries right? And except South Korea..the majority of East Asia is atheist..last time I checked they're not white.

Last time I also checked, Japan is one of the most peaceful countries in the world with the lowest crime rate in the world. Seems like a world full of atheists isn't that bad.
